    Once the rubber seals are fully washed and dried out first, 303 Aerospace Protectant will give decent protection from UV fading & drying out. Will darken/blacken them slightly as well and without been too wet or glossy looking.

    No offence but I wouldn't let that stuff within 20 feet of my car - especially not on rubber, it melts the surface and causes all sorts of problems.

    Any wax+silicone based polish should work well on rubber - even Mr.sheen or pledge does a decent job.
